Through A Child's View

            
             The Little Prince is a short novel that states the fact that children are the wisest, most intelligent people living. The reason the author tries to get this message across is because he feels that the simple things that children see and think about are in fact the most important things in life, and adults can no longer see them because they are blinded and callused to them from their experiences that they have had in their lives. .
             The Little Prince thinks that grown ups are very misled, and have their priorities in life all out of line. The examples that the author uses to prove this are the examples of the businessman, who does nothing but count stars "money" and the vain man who wants nothing but praise, or the drunk who only drinks. I think the way the author describes the drunkard is just awesome because he says that the drunk only drinks because he has to drown out the fact that he feels very guilty for drinking. That is exactly how I see drunks and I wish that they would realize that their problems are mainly caused by their drinking and if they would stop then they could handle their problems instead of making them worse. .
             The Little Prince has respect for one of the characters he meets far above the rest. This man was the lamplighter. He respects that lamplighter because this man does not do the job he is given just for himself. The lamplighter lights the lamps for the other people out there who need the light. There are really no people that need the light but the lamplighter does his job anyway.
             A theme taught in this story that the author shows is the sense of emotion felt in the heart. "One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes. (63)." The author states this fact when the Little Prince is bidding farewell to his fox that he has grown very fond of and is telling him about the rose who is also his friend. I think that the author's point is that the friends that we make are the only true things worth having in life.
